Is this question for real?

Is this question for real?
umm yes just to be safe than sorry.
by that respond i guess that means yes?
-
well.....it is safe to do so, it shouldn't hurt anything, but every time you try to pause a game your computer will turn off.
-
that's no problem i can tell winxp not to turn off when i push the button.
-
Then how do you turn it off? You going to wire up another button for "off"? And what's XP going to do when you push it, then- sleep mode?
-
my pc will turn off if you hold it for ~5 seconds but also doesn't mamewah have power off feature as well?
-
You can have mamewah escape straight to whatever you want without going through the menu. I didn't know if you were serious because having the power button and the pause button together doesn't make much sense to me. On a side note, I know that someone made a batch file that would make it so the escape button had to be held in for two seconds before a game would be existed to avoid accidental escapes in the heat of battle. I plan on having a power button out of normal reach, and using a shaaazam button to escape games. I would love to use the pause button as a shift as well so that both would have to be pressed to exit a game. I'm still researching that option.
BTW, didn't mean to leave such a rude first response, it was my first reaction.
